No Labor Weekend

Today is my first day of maternity leave! So excited not to have to go in to work today! How was your Labor Day? Mine was labor free! We had a pretty wonderful weekend at my mom’s lake cottage.

 I mean really. It was gorgeous up there.

 We relaxed. Ate good food. Went for long walks….you know, the usual.

Wrigley LOVES it at the lake and had the best time.

 
 View from my mom’s back yard taken on my iphone. It was the perfect pre-baby trip….I took it easy so that I wouldn’t go in to labor. Perfect excuse to take long naps and relax all weekend!
Yummy dinner out on the deck.

Wrigley was obsessed with terrorizing this poor squirrel.

 How was your labor day weekend? We ended ours by waiting in a long line at the lake’s trash center! Fun times, I tell you!

    Your title to this blog post is so so cute. What a relaxing time up at the lake! So glad y'all were able to go enjoy it one more time pre-baby, but know that will be a special place to bring him in the future!

    I can't believe that this wasn't a "He's arrived" post!!
    But I'm so glad he didn't because you looked like you had an amazing weekend – I LOVE all your pics.
    Good luck for the last few hours/days.
